Bible Note: Glory777: You are to be commended for your fine, consoling reply. This may be seen as nitpicking, but you make one statement which concerns me. "Can't cry for the children"? Rom 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. I would not condemn either you or your answer, for you are truly kind. Speaking for myself and no one else, my heart aches whenever I hear of a child stolen from her parents by death. When my precious 5-year-old niece was killed in a (very preventable) auto accident, I felt that although she was "better off", I was not. We can only hope that some psycho will not take it into his head to slaughter young children so they will be "better off." Glory777, if I have taken your comments out of context or answered inappropriately, then I apologize. To me the death of a child is a highly personal and emotionally charged issue, one for which I have little or no objectivity to offer. |
